Chapter 93 Meeting

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Qing smiled and said, "Director, I don't know either."

She was already destined to be scolded for speaking up for Talia, and Director Shen wanted her to be scolded to death!

Director Shen expressed deep regret when he saw that she didn't respond.

The conference room was in chaos again. Many times, employee benefits cannot be implemented quickly, not because of a lack of things, but because the leaders did not take advantage.

After they finished arguing, Chen Qing looked up at the clock on the conference room. It was half past ten. How inefficient!

Room allocation time: To be determined.

That’s right, after arguing for so long, there was still no result.

Then, Director Lin of the Women's Federation proposed a proposal to reshape the new concept of young men and women: "Men and women have never been in opposition. We can learn good qualities from each other. Otherwise, the Education Bureau would not put boys and girls in the same classroom. What we need to pay attention to is the calculations of bad elements."

She thought that the blackboard newspaper for the new quarter should be about how men and women can be on guard against bad elements, and should clearly state the restricted areas so that men and women can get along naturally.

She has a high prestige, and promoting knowledge related to women is not a big deal, so it was passed unanimously.

Director Lin added: "The blackboard newspaper was originally the task of the factory committee. I would like to invite Team Leader Chen from the factory committee to help complete this task together."

Director Liu immediately responded: "That couldn't be better."

Ever since Chen Qing became the team leader, this girl has been acting like a local tyrant, ordering everyone in the team around in circles, while she sits back and relaxes, yawning while sitting with her legs crossed.

Both parties had no objection, and leaders of other departments were unable to interrupt.

Chen Qing: “???”

What about me?

Didn't anyone ask the parties involved for their opinions?

Well, she's not important.

After Director Lin finished speaking, he talked about a few more things, and it was almost twelve o'clock.

It was midsummer in August, the sun was scorching, and in the conference room of the machinery factory, the fans were buzzing, but they could hardly dispel the stuffiness in the air.

Director Shen sat at the head of the conference table and cleared his throat, breaking the silence in the conference room: "As everyone knows, this meeting is being held today to discuss a special issue, Deputy Director Mao's wife, Talia."

Someone immediately stood up and strongly opposed it.

Yang Xiujin leaned back gently, twirling his pen leisurely, waiting for Chen Qing's big show.

"Comrades, this is a matter of principle!" Security Chief Wang Dehai suddenly slammed the table and the tea in the enamel pot splashed on the meeting minutes. He cursed: "Many people have not yet taken off their spy hats, and now we let a foreign woman interfere in our affairs? Who knows if she will do something else!"

Chen Qing looked at the clock in the corner. The swinging brass pendulum made him feel annoyed.

Director Shen tapped the table with his pen: "Team Leader Chen, what do you think?"

The stage is given to her, and how she performs depends on her ability.

Chen Qing opened the envelope and took out the document.

Wang Dehai sneered: "Some people come here for no reason."

Chen Qing met the eyes of Wang Dehai, the head of the security section, and smiled gently: "Chief Wang, you have caught few enemy agents and you are not capable enough. Who can you blame? You choose to starve to death because you are afraid of rats stealing rice. This is called throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Now we don't advocate reading, but we are also carrying out a nationwide literacy campaign. I hope Chief Wang can understand the most basic knowledge."

The leaders looked at each other and chose to stand aside and watch.

Chen Qing is a young person who acts rashly. If she catches someone who does not meet her expectations, she will scold him regardless of the occasion.

They don't want to be as famous as Yang Xiujin in the machinery factory.

Wang Dehai was scolded for being incompetent and illiterate. He was so angry that his face turned red and he slammed the table and said, "What do you mean?"

"If Section Chief Wang manages the machinery factory entirely by relying on his voice and banging on the table, then you continue and I'll wait." Chen Qing restrained his facial expression and stared at him coldly with his narrow and long phoenix eyes.

Did you think she would be afraid of Wang Dehai slamming the table? What a joke!

There is nothing to be afraid of if the problem can be solved by raising a loudspeaker.

The whole place was silent, and I inexplicably felt a cool breeze blowing.

Director Liu laughed and said, "Old Wang, she is young and straightforward. You should not confront her."

After persuading Wang Dehai, Director Liu was angry with Chen Qing again: "I asked you to talk about Comrade Talia, why are you talking so much nonsense? Why don't you start quickly?"

The leaders looked at each other in bewilderment. Even "Comrade Talia" was called out, which meant that they must be on Chen Qing's side.

Section Chief Wang sat down with a gloomy face.

Chen Qing came to the big blackboard where they recorded the meeting and wrote on the empty space on the blackboard: "Last month, the machine was shut down for 37 hours due to a hydraulic failure, and twelve tons of special steel were scrapped."

Everyone looked at the fonts on the blackboard, which were neat, orderly and pleasing to the eye.

The workshop director frowned, "What does Team Leader Chen mean?"

Then Chen Qing explained the reason: "Why was the time delayed? Why did it delay the work of the brother unit's automobile factory? It was because the workshop technicians did not dare to take responsibility and were afraid to adjust the parameters set by the Soviets."

The workshop director frowned, thinking of Chen Qing's purpose, and said, "We can't trust foreigners either."

Chen Qing didn't say anything, but came to the production schedule on the wall. The red arrow was like a dagger inserted at the 62% position. "Why didn't we meet the target last week? It's because Master Zhang's hand was broken. Why was it broken?"

She had a pleasant voice and spoke slowly and steadily, allowing all the leaders present to follow her thoughts.

"It's a translation problem!" Chen Qing continued to write on the blackboard. The Chinese version on the left read "Regularly dismantle the reverse valve", and the original Russian version on the right was written down.

The workshop director stood up suddenly: "Calibration and disassembly have similar pronunciations in Russian!"

The leaders at the scene also realized that something was wrong.

Chen Qing promptly launched the accident report: "Three months ago, the steam leak in the second workshop was caused by Engineer Zhang who removed the safety valve according to the wrong translation. Engineer Zhang repeatedly said, 'This is not what is written on the Russian drawing.'"

The conference room suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone remembers the look of Zhang Gong's collapse, a tough man in his fifties with tears streaming down his face.

In order to appease the public anger, he confiscated all the 300 yuan he had saved, resigned voluntarily, and returned to the countryside with his entire family.

Chen Qing elaborated one by one on the major accidents that had occurred in the machinery factory over the past year due to translation errors.

She put away the documents, and the leaders became nervous.

Here comes the point!

Chen Qing: "Talia is a foreigner, we certainly can't trust her 100%, so I have the following plans."

"First, in an emergency, she can be used as an interpreter. You know, Talia's father is also a researcher and is very familiar with many scientific terms. As for whether she should be held responsible, I don't think anyone would joke about their life."

"Secondly, for non-confidential documents, you can ask her to check if there are any omissions, so that she can detect and correct them in time."

"Third, when assessing the foreign language performance of researchers and technical department staff, at least we should let them know whether the idioms they think are correct are correct or not."
